Maybe I should've said "should've."
Mal: Well said. Wasn't that well said, Zoe? Zoe: Had a kind poetry to it, sir.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
DX is me, wrt House. I think Hugh Laurie is brilliant, but he's not doing anything different ever. And I don't mean different in the "This isn't my Monk!" way in which I also agree with le nub. He hits the same beats on the same pages every time.
What upset me about the Monk finale especially was that Shalhoub (and the kid -- how cute!) were doing a great job. The plot failed them. YOU DON'T GIVE THE KID TO A STRANGER! Especially not an OCD one who can't hold down a job or make it through a day on his own. Not for ten minutes. However, I thought it was the kid that made him able to roll around in the grass. Not that I think it should have been possible, I just read a different catalyst for the improbable act.
When they had the pathos on for him, Shalhoub hit it out of the park, and nailed all the comedy too. But then it became a bit more like we were supposed to be laughing at him, and mocking him too. And now they've come around a bit strangely on the other side.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
You know what's stupid? My utility company wants to charge me $2.00 to pay the bill on line, and is hyping it as a way to avoid paying for the stamp.
That's stupid, or maybe they think I am.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Well, it would be cheaper to pay online, if when you pay by mail you feel compelled to include a bunch of rocks with your check.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
They must mean it's cheaper for them.
So much cheaper that it's a profit....
Shades of Milo Minderbinder.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
You should turn the logic around on them. If stamps are soooo expensive, offer to pay the cost of a stamp instead of the $2.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
You know what sounds useful, and fun, even, but turns out to just take waaay too long?
Scanning photos.
And I'm not even to the really old ones yet.
Anybody else still up?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am, at least for a bit.
How's it going?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Not bad. I may be running light board for a HS show this weekend. But, England on Sunday!
Apart from the crappy moving stuff, how's you?

Pretty good. Yay for England!
